‘Welcher bees’ feed their babies rotting meat instead of dust
“Welcher bees” have evolved to eat meat instead of relying on dust like other bees. Scientists hung raw chicken in Costa Rica and watched vultures until fill their leg pouches and stomach with it. They found acid-producing microbes in the beans’ kits. Acid helps vultures and hyenas digest Carrion. Loading Something is shutter. A group of scientists visited the tropical …

An international team of researchers has reconstructed the recent history of ocean warming at the gate to the Arctic Ocean in a region called Fram Strait, between Greenland and Svalbard, and found that the Arctic Ocean has been warming much longer than before. Records have suggested. Credit: Sara Giansiracusa The Arctic Ocean has been warming since the early 20th centuryTe …

The study, published Wednesday in the journal Science Advances, found that the expansion of warm Atlantic ocean water flowing into the Arctic, a phenomenon known as “Atlantification,” has caused Arctic water temperatures in the region studied. To Increase by around 2 degrees Celsius since 1900. Francesco Muschitiello, an author of the study and assistant professor of geography at the University …

Neutrinos interacting with nuclei. Credit: DOE Jefferson Lab Neutrinos may be the key to finally solving a mystery of the origins of our matter-dominated universe, and preparations for two major billion-dollar experiments are underway to reveal the secrets of particles. Now, a team of nuclear physicists have turned to the humble electron to provide insight for how these experiments can …

The space around the Milky Way is not empty. It swarms with dwarf galaxies – small, weak and low in mass, with less than 1,000 stars each. This is not uncommon. We know from our observations of other large galaxies that dwarf galaxies often congregate nearby, and can be captured in the gravitational field of the larger object. Astronomers have …

Peering deeper beneath the surface of the earth can tell us a lot about its history and geological makeup, and this is the same for any other planet. Now the InSight lander on the surface of Mars has provided our first deep look at what lies just below the red planet’s surface. The seismometer on board InSight – called SEIS …
